*SAVE The World plays*

throwback to last year after the Amphibia finale aired when I was struck with inspo when listening to the Undertale soundtrack

Andddd here's the main image file! Tried to stay true to the original game's graphic style (but I figured if the Asriel fight got color, then Anne deserved some colors as well) ✨

My big problem with the ending is that the story had the characters like. At least a few times discuss how they could totally still be friends even after the adventure was over. And like, I understand there’s a metaphor going on about how your life changes and you don’t stay as close to people as you think you might, but like… it kinda comes in out of nowhere in the last two or three episodes. And on top of that, Anne losing Sprig ENTIRELY and then the dialogue implying she, Sasha and Marcy all drifted apart until that reunion just felt overly sad. Puts a lot more ‘bitter’ than sweet in that bittersweet ending than they meant to, I think.

this is gonna be a long answer so sit tight lol.

disclaimer: I LOVE AMPHIBIA OK? my criticism means i care and i am passionate!! maybe too much, but hey, who's doing the math am i right.

ok i absolutely agree with EVERYTHING u say. i think everyone who disliked the ending is in the same page tbh, we all agree on the same stuff.

what u said about mostly bitter than sweet is EXACTLY what i keep saying. like...i do not see the sweet ANYWHERE in that ending. the "sweet" is the girls finally making it home, yet we dont get to see that. we dont even see anne hugging her parents again or anything, and dont get me started on the marcy and sasha's parents thing (ok i will briefly: refusing to give us anything about them just cuz "you wanna leave it up to interpretation" is bullshit. ur writing a story. commit. not showing us sasha and marcy's home lives and families means youre not showing us ANY signs of us rooting for them to go back home, we aren't attached to the idea of it as opposed to sasha's bond with grime and marcy's love for amphibia. it is lousy)

like, people keep telling me im missing the point of an ending that was obvious since episode one and i just disagree so much. where in the world of episode 1 did we see that anne was going to fight the moon, die, meet god and be offered to become god? what the fuck. i keep saying this ending could only work if the stakes weren't so high and the girls didn't spend as much time in amphibia. for anne to separate from the plantars permanently just because "people in life come and go and it hurts but oh well thats life" is so... devastating. like, imagine not being able to see or talk to your family EVER again. because hey thats what lifes like.

"but vinnie they'll obviously see each other again!!!" if u keep saying this, then u just disliked the ending as much as i did and ur in denial lmao. we can make all the hcs we want, they can add all the fix-it they want to marcy's journal (context: matt braly implied marcy's journal could include terri and mr x giving the girls "a surprise" in the timeskip) but yknow the damage is done. the ending is there and it tells you that the plantars and anne say goodbye forever and thats how it is. at least accept it.

"its been set up since ep 1" i completely disagree. season 1 in its entirety is about anne learning to love wartwood. sure it makes sense if u just watch ep 1 because anne is desperate to get home but um, the point is that anne comes to love wartwood and its people and becomes a part of the plantar family. how is that ending an ep1 set up? well, wheres the WHOLE SHOW set up? it makes no sense.

and even for the trio, i understand the growing apart thing but man, after what they went through wouldnt they be bonded for life, having been the only ones to have ever experienced this same trauma, and be closer than ever? especially with the portal permanently gone. id totally be behind it if the portal was open, cuz anne sasha and marcy choose their new amphibian friends over each other to spend time with and eventually come together again as teens, but still close all together bc i cant stress it enough. you dont just grow apart from someone u fought the moon with.

amphibia was already their time apart yknow. again, if the stakes were lower id get it and it'd work. but u cannot have these 3 go through all they did and then try to apply a Down To Earth realistic ending. i dont get it.

like, ur telling me marcy had to move away and she did it happily after being stabbed, comatosed, posessed, etc? sasha and anne stop talking in hs after anne had held onto sasha's arm for dear life before she lets go to her possible death, after they both leaded a fucking army together for a WAR AT 13 YEARS OLD? they just...move on? with a smile? sure it works if you say it does. but if you look it from a writing perspective its just weird, incomplete, lousy. no drama.

everything happens and we dont talk about it. everyone's just freaking happy ig.

i could excuse the sashannarcy separation though but that along with the goodbye forever to amphibia are TERRIBLE combinations. like sasha anne and marcy close this book and open a new one, and how on earth are they even able to do that after everything they we through???

sure im happy theyre happy. it could be that simple. but to me its not. to me this ending ruins the entire show lmao. if u were gonna go for this ending then dont write such an epic story bro lol.

and for the "YOU JUST WANT A STVFOE ENDING/WHAT, IS ANNE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE HER PARENTS EVER AGAIN?" gang: shut up dingus. no one talked about mixing both worlds or keep anne just in amphibia. thatd be just as bad. they should just have a way to access amphibia whenever they wanted, they met GOD. they literally had any excuse to make this work.

"but thatd be unrealistic" oh so sorry if i dont mind the story about 3 humans landing in a world of frog people, getting superpowers, leading an army, fighting a war, fighting an evil king and posession and the moon, doesn't have a completely realistic ending

"it would be too good to be true" so u agree. u agree the ending wasnt good.

what i would've done to make this ending Work, i would've added 3 simple things.

1. anne is a whole lot more broken up over saying goodbye to amphibia forever. shes not that calm about it. she's upset and thinks its unfair.

2. we get to see anne reunite with her parents back home

3. in the 10 year timeskip, we get an open ended situation with the trio opening a portal and its up to interpretation if this is the first time theyve done it or not.

thats it. i still wouldnt be a fan, i think anne deserves to grow up being able to see her family, but i think if they wanted that ending that badly they shouldve at least added those things. idk.

BASICALLY: i get what they were trying to do. it just does not work with the kind of epic high stakes story they've decided to write.

#new ask tag #pleeeeaaaase avoid sending me shit anom hate over my opinions #i got plenty of those ive heard ur arguments over a thousand times #u liked the ending? good for you buddy. dont have a gold star to give u tho sorry #the prize is minding ur business and leaving me alone in my hater sandbox #the hardest thing spoilers #amphibia finale spoilers #amphibia finale hater sandbox

Spoilers for the Amphibia series. Finale The hardest thing.

I don't know if I'm in the minority. But I liked how the show ended. Was it a perfect episode? No. I do wish the episode was a little longer, I feel like the core was defeated a little too quickly, and I wish they had explained the origins of the box a little better but I did like how the episode wrapped up.

I'll admit I was starting to tear up when everyone was saying goodbye for the last time. With the title "The hardest thing" and with Hop Pop telling Sprig that Anne couldn't stay with them forever, I think a lot of people were expecting the box to be destroyed and the two worlds separated forever, it didn't make it hurt any less when it did happen.

I liked each of the goodbyes the girls had everyone. Marcy wishing that she had got to know Olivia and Yunan better, and while she didn't necessarily forgive Andrias, I thought it was sweet that she told him goodbye. And seeing his reaction to her even acknowledging him at all, and telling her goodbye too, a great scene between the two of them.

While I'm disappointed Percy and Barrock didn't come back. Sasha and Grime's goodbye was also very sweet. That definitely became better people because of each other.

And I think Anne and the planters goodbye was the most emotional. Especially with Hop Pop and Sprig. Anne and Polly both admitting they loved each other as sisters. Anne and Hop Pop at the beginning of the series couldn't stand each other, but now they've embraced each other as family and are both proud that Anne is a planter. Made their goodbyes so much better.

Anne and Sprig's goodbye was definitely the most emotional scene of the episode. Sprig bawling his eyes out. Anne promising that he'll always be important to her. That they'll never be apart as long as they remember each other. And I loved the last hug they had when the camera circled around them. How can you not be at least a little sad after that scene ?Every voice actor during all the goodbye scenes, did a great job delivering their lines.

I also liked the time skip too. Seeing Sprig using Anne's phone to write down their adventures, having a statue of Anne in her honor in the middle of town square, Anne made such a good impact on the town that even without the statue, No-one in Amphibia is going to forget what she Sasha and Marcy did for them.

And I liked the earth ending. Marcy moving away made sense with change being a theme of the show. And even Sasha admitting that she and Anne drifted into different friend groups after awhile also made sense.

I also loved that the last scene was Anne talking about how change was hard but it was part of growing up, and how some things can come back. I loved that the quote/final scene was on the frog Anne named after Sprig.

I'm glad I gave this show a chance. It's one of the better Disney shows to come out in the past couple of years. (In my opinion.) While it was by no means perfect, I'm definitely going to miss it. But I'm glad Matt Barley got to tell the story the way he wanted. Not many creators get to do that with their shows. And I'm glad Amphibia got to tell it's story in a satisfying way.

Spranne against the world.

Anne: No, seriously. The cosmic cat told me that I've only going to live 81 years and then bye bye.
